Film Review: The Devil Wears Prada (BEST MOVIE EVER)

[yesthattom]

Saturday night quietchris and I went to see The Devil Wears Prada (IMDB, Wikipedia). I have to say it was THE BEST MOVIE EVER.

The line for popcorn went pretty quickly. The woman at the ice cream counter wasn’t “confused” by such a big order (2 items... usually well past her limit but not this time).

Things were looking good. But they only got better.

We found perfect seats. Right at eye-level to the screen and directly in the middle. The problem, however, was that the row in front of us was a mother flanked by an 8 year old and a 6 year old. I whispered to quietchris that these kids were way too young to understand this film and were going to be talking, squirming, and being a total distraction.

But then 5 minutes into the movie, the mom realized this wasn’t a movie that kids would enjoy AND LEFT.

THEY LEFT! WITHOUT BEING SHOUTED AT! THEY LEFT ON THEIR OWN BEFORE THERE WAS EVEN A PROBLEM!

Then I realized nobody was talking on the phone, text messaging people, or yelling at the film.

About half way through the film a baby started crying and within seconds the mother quieted the baby and it was quiet for the rest of the movie! Awesome!

Man! This was the best movie I’d seen in years! I might even go see it again.

In conclusion, I highly recommend The Devil Wears Prada. Excellent movie!

Haha. What, too busy gettin' nookie during the movie to notice? ;-)

We had a similarly positive experience and got EXTREME CLOSEUPS of everything since we were in the third row.

You have just summed up the major reasons why we hardly ever go to the movies. The only ones that are worth it to me are Harry Potter movies, anything by Joss Whedon or Pixar, and the Spider-Man films (as long as Sam Raimi keeps directing). And Pirates of the Caribbean, of course. :-)

(Though I will say that the PotC matinee we went to yesterday wasn't bad despite being pretty packed -- no cell phones or babies or small children making noise, at least that I could hear.)

Wow. That is totally amazing. Parents actually being parents?

The trailers for this movie don't look so hot, but maybe I'll reconsider.
